I think you can use a wmv as a wallpaper on vista upwards. Called "dream scene" or something like that.

How'd you make the selected shortcut highlight as pink?

windows 98 allowed gifs as wallpapers, I think XP did too

There were few attempts in the past.

The problem is getting high enough quality video that loops properly.
Also, it eats tons of resources just for aesthetics.

I remember using a GIF as wallpaper in Windows 2000. It worked.

Stardock has a product for this, and there's also wallpaper engine
